abstract = {Background: The global pandemic has affected the psychological health of the population,
including pregnant women. Due to the difficulty of offering conventional therapies to reduce
stress in this population, studies are needed to show the effect of online therapies. Therefore, the
objective was to test the effect of online cognitive behavioural therapy in pregnant women during
the pandemic on the main variables of stress and psychopathology. Methods: The sample consisted
of 16 pregnant women who participated in a weekly cognitive behavioural intervention for 8 weeks.
Prenatal concerns, general stress, stress vulnerability, resilience and psychopathology were assessed.
Results: The results show a reduction in prenatal concerns, perceived stress, stress vulnerability and
psychopathology, as well as an increase in resilience. Conclusions: Online cognitive behavioural
intervention may be effective in pregnant women, so it is important to conduct a randomised
controlled trial to certify these findings.},
